I am often asked important questions about sexual health that many men are too self-conscious to consult friends and family about. Are you the kind of man who doesn’t like shelling out for a visit to the doctor unless your health concern is really serious? Try sending your questions in to me—as an experienced urologist [...]
Mainstream urologists have long known that testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is vastly—and dangerously—overprescribed. According to an evidence-based clinical practice guideline recently published in Annals of Internal Medicine, physicians should prescribe testosterone for men with age-related low testosterone only to treat sexual dysfunction. The evidence does not support prescribing TRT for men with concerns about low [...]

An ageless love life begins with a confident approach toward romance. I cannot reiterate this point enough: attitude is the key to a long and healthy love life. My patients tell me that intimacy with their special someone gives them as much joy at seventy as it did at twenty. Some say it is even [...]
I have witnessed an increased development of performance anxiety over the last forty years. It is worth analyzing the social conditions that have created this outbreak. One could argue that men have always struggled with this condition. It could also be argued that the increase in recent years is only because men today feel more [...]
Testicular cancer, which affects mainly younger men, is relatively rare. This form of cancer is the most easily treated of all tumors in the genitourinary system. Just a few decades ago, more than 90 percent of patients with certain types of testicular cancer did not survive five years. Today, a majority of cases are curable. [...]
It has long been a truism that you are what you eat. Just as poor food choices can negatively impact your health and your intimate relationships, making some simple changes to your diet can significantly improve these areas of your life.
